Leadership and their companies are learning how to do business in the Social Era, necessitating new skills and practices, and in some cases, creating major cultural shifts, in order to remain competitive. Most companies continue to operate under the “command and control – process to output value chain” business model, which isn’t always “Social Media friendly”. The question is not IF, but WHEN, and HOW companies will give way to operating under the expansive, open and nimbler Social Era business model of the “3-C’s”: Connect, Collaborate and Co-create. How can C-Suite leaders make this transformation for themselves and their organizations? At the focal point of this transformation is the use of Social Media amongst company leadership, employees and their customers. We discuss how can leaders adopt the skills and implement the growing/changing list of social media technologies needed to meet these challenges. Furthermore, we will explore what role HR can play in this new era of connecting, collaborating and co-creating.

“Awaken the Sleeping Giants” poignantly speaks to the pivotal role HR plays at this crucial time. Through a deeper understanding of the upcoming talent shortage and its future implications, HR will be compelled to claim their place at the boardroom table. It will mean partaking in company direction, strategy and equipping the corporate culture with the “Attraction Factor”. HR will have to “stand in the gap” to create a sea-change in thinking, new levels of conscious intention and developing company culture by design rather than by default. This powerful talk is a must-attend for HR Professionals interested in their organization’s survival.

HR has the potential to be a highly impactful, strategic business partner to the organization. To achieve this potential, though, HR will have to be run more like a business. Attend this session to learn the four critical steps of running HR like a business: First, align initiatives to key organizational goals. Second, plan the initiatives carefully, including reaching agreement with the sponsors on expected impact from the initiative. Third, execute the planned initiatives with discipline through regular reporting and dedicated monthly meetings. Fourth, measure and evaluate to ensure the planned impact was delivered or learn why it was not.

Workplace grief costs U.S. businesses billions of dollars a year in reduced productivity and increased errors and accidents, yet the word grief rarely shows up in reports. In The Hidden Annual Cost of Grief in America’s Workplace 2003 report, the keyword in the title of this report is the word "hidden." It is just that factor that has caused the problem to escalate to now unimaginable proportions and it is the essential reason that it is getting worse rather than better. In this presentation we will address the definition of grief, the grief/workplace connection, the cost of "presenteeism" to corporations and we will discover how managers and other employees can support coworkers who have experienced personal loss.
